Indi-Pop 90's

Taking cue from my earlier post, I thought I'l will jot down my favourite top 10 Indi-Pop songs of the 90's. Practically my generation grew up on those songs. We glued to MTV only to watch it again and again. It was an electrical, magical era. They don't make videos like that anymore. It is really a strenuous task to number only a few and leave rest behind. We witnessed a sea of talents like Sonu Nigam, Daler Mehendi, Mohid Chouhan, Shaan, Colonial cousins, Anamika, Shwetha Shetty, Baba Sehgal, Sunitha Rao, and many more. It is not only about the melodious songs, but the creative video presenting adorable people.

1. "Made In India" by Alisha Chinai, featuring Alisha herself and hunk of Milind Soman. It was like an alternative national anthem to us back then.



2. "Hogayi Hai Muhabbat Tumse" by Aslam and Shibani.



3. Chui Mui Si Tum Lagti Ho", featuring Abbas and Preethi Jhangiani. Oh! They looked so cute together.



4. "Dooba Dooba" by Silk Route band, now fluttering million hearts with his magical voice is Mohit Chouhan. Yeah, he could be kinda old.



5. "Ab Muje Raat Din" by Sonu Nigam, featuring Deewana Pundir and Sushma Reddy. Sonu's enchanting voice just melts my heart each time I hear it.



6. "Afrin Afrin" by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. It features gorgeous Lisa Ray.



7. "Gur Nalon Ishq Mitha" by Balli Sagoo featuring Arora duos-Jass and Malaika.



8.  "Deewane To Deewane Hain" by Shwetha Shetty.



9. "Yaad Piya Ke Aane Lagi" by Dandiya queen Falguni Pathak.


10. "Janam Samjha Karo" by Asha Bhosle.

Best Month Of The Year


December favourite month of the year. I feel festivities are in the air. The reasons i like December are plenty, the one that tops the list is, it is my birthday month. Yeeeee. I feel like a little girl when my birthday nears. I start counting days and apprehension is exciting. I'm not into cakes, gifts, balloons, and all that jazz. I don't even expect people to wish me. I still freak out like Joey "God why me" of getting old. Have I been more mature, wise, intelligent? I don't know. But happy? Yes, yes, yes.

Christmas. Neither I'm a Christian nor do I celebrate. After watching tons of movies and reading books, it has become a part of life. The Christmas tree, mistletoe, reindeer, Santa, gifts, and holidays.

New year eve. It is time to bid adieu to the current year and welcome new year. The parting from dusk to dawn, letting hair loose, and going crazy. I love making new year resolutions, reminiscing about the year passed by.

Weather. The chilli morning and pleasant evenings, getting cozier under warm quilt, snuggling with partner. Need I say more.
